    Default Restoring stickers on Cartridges.

    Hi guys, I'm a bit of a restoration spree right now, I've got several Atari 2600 carts, and some NES carts that are losing their stickers. The stickers are actually peeling off, and I want to know what should I use to adhere the stickers back to the carts, without leaving a mess.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, basically any acid free glue should do the trick.

    Well then, I'll be making a trip to the local dept. store later on.


    Thanks a lot.

    Glue stick? Awesome. I've got some extra labels sitting around that fell off Atari 2600 carts (mainly end labels), so I'll just go about cleaning the cartridge end and using glue stick to adhere the label.

    Any suggestions on what to clean the old glue off with? Soap and water should be fine, but I just want to verify before I go about it.

    Anyone know if there's a way to replace stickers? I have a few N64 stickers that are faded or scratched up and I would like to be able to replace them.

    'T', I've been wondering the same, I do believe there may be a place you should be able to get reprints. I'm also looking for a few end labels for my Atari 2600 and Intellivision games.
